We are pleased to announce that the artist HABURI, who was born in Inner Mongolia and currently works in Kyoto, will hold a solo exhibition titled "DON'T COME BACK HOME, IF IT IS NOT NECESSARY" at the annex "MINE" of Yamanaka Suplex.

HABURI has been creating new works while commuting between MINE (Osaka) and Yamanaka Suplex (Shiga) since early April. After receiving university art education in Inner Mongolia, HABURI immigrated to Japan in 2016. Drawing from his experience of living in various parts of Japan, HABURI creates works on the theme of living his own life away from his hometown, and his identity related to Inner Mongolia and China. In this exhibition, which takes its title from a phrase his father had told him over the phone, "DON'T COME BACK HOME, IF IT IS NOT NECESSARY”, inspired by China's "Zero COVID-19" policy since 2020, he will present earlier works created while moving around, but also new works in which he combines dishes he often ate in his hometown with Japanese craft techniques.

Furthermore, on Saturday, May 6th, we will hold a related talk event, welcoming Ms.Hasigaowa, a researcher also from Inner Mongolia as a guest speaker. In her studies at the Research Center for Promoting Intercultural Studies at Kobe University, Ms. Hasigaowa focuses on Inner Mongolia, a region often overlooked in Japan. Through interpreting HABURI’s works from social, historical, and political perspectives, she will provide a more multifaceted interpretation of his works.（The talk will be conducted in Japanese） 

We look forward to your visit to MINE during the Golden Week holidays in Osaka.
